Our school works in partnership with the church and the wider community to give a caring and nurturing environment. Together we enable and equip everyone to have life to the full as Jesus promised. This vision is underpinned by the values of hope, friendship, respect, forgiveness, perseverance, tolerance and thankfulness.

“I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full” (John 10 v.10)

We will realise our Vision through the following aims:

• demonstrating, as a Church school, our Christian values in action
• consistently high standards of teaching
• providing a happy, healthy and secure environment where all are respected, valued and encouraged to contribute
• excellent leadership and governance
• encouraging a love of learning by participating in experiences full of opportunity and creativity
• pursuing excellence in every aspect of school life, supporting one another and celebrating the achievements of all
• a partnership of pupils, teachers, parents, governors and the local community
• Targets are challenging and achievable.
• To have creative and enquiring minds enabling them to become confident individuals who reach their full potential and succeed in Modern Britain.

Our Values

Our Values are at the heart of our school vision and shared with children on a regular basis, in Collective Worship and reinforced through our teaching and every day school life.

We established these in collaboration within our school community.

Our values can be said to be ‘Human Values’ and inclusive for all. As a Church of England school, however, we have rooted these Values in our Christian beliefs and in stories from the Bible making it particularly memorable for children.

Christian Values:

Friendship - Proverbs 17:17 - 'A friend loves at all times.’

Thankfulness -  Luke 22.19 - 'Jesus took some bread in his hands and gave thanks for it.'

Hope - Jeremiah 29:11 - 'For I know the plans I have for your life, plans to give you hope.'

Respect - Luke 6:31 - 'Do to other as you would have them do to you.'
